Bulb still comes on with ignition so bulb ok!! The car used to go into limp mode when spanner lit up , as i said since timing belt done no more problems. The handbook suggests a fault in the alarm system, and advises to switch off & restart to reset the system .

Wonder if cam sensor wasn't seated right, and this was sorted when doing cambelt. IIRC, same bolt that holds camcover in place on 2.2 holds cam senosr in place

I made that mistake, sheared off the bolt   

There is actually a tiny little bolt which holds the sensor, its right up in between the two cams

I usually refuse to work on 2.2s (and 2.0s)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

When my cam sensor was failing simply disconnecting and reconnecting it would "fix" it for a week or two.  That eventually became a day or two until I replaced it.  I guess that just disconnecting it has settled it for a while, but it will be back.
